The gold standard group, which •. now Includes Italy, as well as France Holland, Switzerland and Belgium .met this morning with a British representative to discuss the situation but decided that nothing further could be done pending Mr. Roosevelt's answer. It was understood that Bonnet, as leader of the gold group, takes the position that all It is asking now from America and Great Britain Is concerted ncOon to halt violent fluctuations of curreney i and a compromise of stabilization as soon as feasible. Immediate stabilization Is no longer demanded by the gold bloc. '' The exact nature of the message from Hull and Moley to the president Vas not disclosed, but well-informed .quarters understood it strongly advised the American chief executive that there be a change In policy as regards controlling too abrupt movements of currency. It was reported this morning that the president had already replied, but the American delegation was 'non-committal on this point. Tha general opinion prevailed at conference headquarters that Mr. Roosevelt's answer will be favorable • to concerted action and that the ' week-end will see a solution to the difficulty. Whether tha wish was father to the •thought, however, remained to be seen, since the conference had no Indication of the president's views. Pending word from America, there were several private meetings of banking Interests and delegates of 'countries concerned to discuss the •ituatlon. The gold bloc, It was understood, placed its entire campaign In the hands of Bonnet and told him It will stand squarely back of anything he does. It was understood that Assistant i Secretary Mojcy and Secretary Hull in their cablegram also conveyed to the president the gold bloc's proposal I for a solution to the difficulty. Befora its dispatch to America, the message was submitted to the United States and British delegations. A paraphrase of the suggestion Is said to be like this: The signing powers reaffirm their faith in the gold standard. The powers already on gold declare their intention to do everything within t ir power to remain on gold and m,..,i- taln the present parity. The powers off gold declare the intention to return to gold as soon as possible, but It Is for each country to decide when and at what rate. The present non-gold powers express appreciation for the effort being made by the gold bloc to hold its position and declare the Intention of aiding in stopping speculation.

Jaggcr—Associated Press Staff Writer) London, June 30.—(A.P.)— Anwrl- ica's hopes of extending Its price raising program to other major coun- . tries are being blocked by the con: aervative policy of the Bank of Eng; land, It was. said today by well-informed sources. • A real cleavage appeared to have developed between the British treasury and the British Central bfuv't over the demands of the gold bloc .- nations that Britain support their currencies. The Bank of England Is firmly opposed to prying the pound sterling loose from the French :\ fr»ne. This stabilization of the pound on the franc over a period of months Was explained as amounting to de ;-, facto stabilization on gold and preventing an Inflationary rise in prices, Such as Is in progress In the United States, '..'• The attitude of the bank of Eng- Ttnd, which was described in Important American quarters as In effect ' ''deflationary" was regarded as pro- 4 Mntfng a strange contrast to tha 5JUIH la 1(27, At that time Montagu Norman, governor of the bank, urged that an easy money policy be adopted by the Federal Reserve. Some economists assert this move started the 1928-1929 boom on a feverish rise which led to the collapse. The British treasury was reported in recent stabilization discussions to be opposing firm adherence to France and desiring more definite leanings toward the American policy. A compromise Is believed to have been reached by which British will pursue an Indefinite mldd'e-of-the- road policy as a result of the gold bloc demand of support In their determination to remain on the gold standard. The J. M. Keynes School of Economic Thought is urging revaluation of all currencies In terms of gold. They are gaining some support In British political quarter] but the official British financial policy, as expounded by Chancellor of the Exchequer Nevllc Chamberlain at the world economic conference, calls only for credit expansion and an easy money and banking program. There has been no lndlcatlon^Uia,t British policy Is aggressive enough In that direction to satisfy the toOktlonlil*. POPE EMERGES FROM VATICAN (By A. E. Stuntz) Rome, June 30—(A.P.)—Holy year pilgrims numbering many thousands renewed their homage toda to the most .illustrious of their num her, Pope Plus XI, as the Pontiff emerged from the Vatican and at tended a brilliant high mass at th Basilica of St. Paul-Oulslde-the Walls. It was the third appearance o Pius In famous cathedrals of Rome following his avowed intention o visiting these basilicas during thi holy year to obtain eventual plenary Indulgence. Hundreds of especially-Invited persons, including many American seminary students and lay pilgrims and thousands of devout Roman citizens flocked to the basilica early this morning. Among them were Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen of Germany, Archbishop MacNicholas of Cincinnati and Bishops Vehr of Denver anc Walsh of Maryknoll, N. Y. St. Paul's is situated across Rome from Vatican City. Held in check by carablnlere and Italian troops' formed in the square outside the church to render the Pope military honors, the pilgrims burst into enthusiastic cheers as the somber black caravan of Papal automobiles bore Pius and his' suite 'to an entrance in the adjoining monastery. Then there came a rush of those in the square to Uie Interior of the cathedral itself. Soon the Interior of St. Paul's with Its fine columns and richly coffered naves was crowded. Accompanied by Commendntore Seaflni, governor of Vatican City, and Monslgnor Caccla-Domlnloni, master of ceremonies, the Pope reached St. Paul's about an hour and a half before the mass itself was celebrated. He was greeted at the entrance to Opened By Uncle Sani Tomorrow the monastery by Cardinal March- ettl-Selvagglanl, his vicar-genera] of the Rome diocese, and Abbot IWc- brando Vannuccl, high priest of St. Paul's, v He was borne aloft on a portable throne by attendants In brilliant crimson. Other attendants slowly waved large ' ostrich feather fans about his hod as the group, preceded by tha Cardinals In the purple robes of their rank, passed down-the long main aisle to the central altar. Washington, June 30—(A.P.)—Un- cle Sam sets out on a new fiscal year tomorrow with a payroll shortened by the elimination of thousands of men and women. Even in foreign countries where there are American agencies will the pinch of economy be felt, for the democratic platform promise of a 25 per cent cut In federal expenditures has been carried abroad, too. The aim Is to spend a billion dollars less In the new financial ,year for regular running expenses. Administration officials say they will hit the mark. In the old-established department and Independent offices, no opportunities have been neglected, the bosses say, to save every nickel possible. But the "save-a-nlckel" try does not apply to the emergency agendas set up to combat the depression. In these the only limit Is prospective needs. First to be hard hit Is, naturally, personnel. There Is the 15 per cent wage cut, already In effect three months. Then, hundreds of dismis- sals are being effected, while in other hundreds of cases, the workers, though retained, will suffer additional pay cuts by imposition of furloughs. Among those persons being dropped are employes of 30 years or more service, who have been made eligible for pensions; men or women whose husbands or wives also hold government Jobs, and that great class whose services are no longer deemed necessary because their work has been terminated or curtailed. What the removals ultimately will total no one Is in position to say. Of the ten executive departments, war alone Is preparing to go along as usual to Washington. Even the war department faces some application of payless-leave In the capital and reduction of civilian workers outside. In the commerce department,,the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce ia being cut to tha bone, and In the famed bureau of standards, 380 employes, most of them scientists of well-established reputations, are losing out. eighth consecutive day of 100-mark readings.

WALLACE Washington, June 30—(A.P.)—To clarify the relationship between the national recovery administration and the farm administration, President Roosevelt today delegated to Secretary Wallace all the powers contained in the Industrial recovery act relating to the handling of milk, tobacco arid aU. foods and foodstuffs except those Provisions relating to hours of labor, rates of pay and other conditions of employment. The move—made In an executive order v/as Intended'to avoid difficulties which have arisen through certain Industries handling foodstuffs applying to both the organization headed by Hugh S. Johnson, the industrial administrator, and George N. Peek, administrator of the agricultural adjustment act. In a joint statement, Johnson and Peek said the executive order would facilitate the closest cooperation between the two administrations. To assure uniformity, the provl- nlons of the recovery act relating to fair competition codes will be applicable to all Industries, including those covered by the agricultural adjustment act. "As to those trades referred to In the executive order," the statement said, "codes of fair competition will be worked out by the agriculture, except that those portions of such does relating to hours of labor, rates of pay, and other conditions of employment will be formulated In collaboration with the national recovery administration. "All such codes of fair competition will be subject to approval by the President.

Johnson said that If the greater portion of industry does not come forward within 60 days with codes, "this Industrial administration will have been a failure." Referring again to his Intention to prevent undue rises In prices, Johnson said "We don't want price fixing in codes but that does not mean we want prices to remain crystallized." He added that the Idea was to permit the prices to work tip naturally. "If there Is any price fixing that leads to monopoly it Is going to be stopped." he said. "If we see even so much as a tendency leaning toward monopoly or extortion we have a mandate under the law to step in." Replying vigorously to a question as to where extortion and price fixing monopoly begins, Johnson said: "I can't sit here and tell you what extortion Is but this country knows damn well what It is." fair to both operators and labor.

There were inquiries here awaiting the sea-going president about the feverish London economic conference , but he just smiled and said he had heard notihng about reports of a new crisis over there on the question which the Europeans have been pressing—stabilization of the currency.
